<h1>Graph representation of the metabolic network</h1>
<p><b>A metabolic network can be graphically represented in three different ways: a metabolite graph in which nodes represent metabolites and edges represent reactions, a reaction graph where reactions are nodes and metabolites are edges or a bipartite graph in which both reactions and metabolites are represented as nodes. Two different methods were used in this web tool to avoid the biologically meaningless connections through currency metabolites such as H2O, ATP. One is based on the metabolic connection database compiled by Ma and Zeng (<a
href="http://bioinformatics.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/19/2/270">Bioinformatics,
19:270</a>). In this database, the reactions were manually examined to determine which metabolic connections should be included. Another is based on the <a
href="http://www.genome.jp/kegg/reaction/">KEGG Rpair</a> database. For each reaction, only the "main" Rpairs (those appeared in the KEGG pathway maps) are considered. </b></p>
